1999 Tavern

1999 Tavern is one of my favorite places to grab a bite to eat downtown. It is laid back like a sports bar but looks like a fine steak house. If you want a warm, casual atmosphere, be seated in the main dining area. If you want to have a beer or two and catch [...]

I’m a proud Michigan State University alumnus (BA 1993, JD 1997) and I make no apology for that. What I often wonder is how many MSU supporters like me are here in town.
Plymouth is something of a border town. Our post office serves the outlying communities that straddle western Wayne County and eastern Washtenaw County. [...]

The perfect time for a walk through Plymouth
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged decorations, election, fall colors, homes, walk on October 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »
My wife and I love taking long walks together when we can. Most of the time, we walk through Plymouth — downtown and through the neighborhoods. I think what we enjoy the most is looking at all the really great homes, the diverse architecture styles, design, decoration and landscaping. Yep, we’re nerdy that way.
Right now [...]
Another good Plymouth chili: Picnic Basket

Since the Chili Cookoff two weekends ago, I’ve been on a chili kick. I didn’t get a chance to sample more than a few chilis and unfortunately I never got to test the winners. I didn’t even know Picnic Basket (Ann Arbor Road and Ridge) had entered the contest, but apparently it won one of [...]

Dear Mariachi Mexican Restaurant: Put your chili on the menu!

At Sunday’s Great Lakes Region Chili Cookoff downtown, we had a chance to sample the chili of a number Plymouth restaurants that participated in the event. My wife, our two friends and I all agreed that Mariachi’s was the best, hands down.
Unfortunately, the chili is not a menu item at the restaurant. This really needs [...]
Neighborhood Beer Tasting Party

Saturday was our neighborhood beer tasting party. I understand this is an annual event and rotates to different homes in the area. This was my first time attending. I brought a friend with me who is a homebrewer and beer connoisseur. Since I do not know too many of the neighbors yet, it was nice [...]
